    Upgraded MCU1 to MCU2 - Are you experiencing New Problems?

    The only problems I am running into with MCU2 vs MCU1 are: 1) Sentry mode does not save to the flash drive on MCU2 but did on MCU1. Normal dash cam does work, including save on honk. 2) USB Music does not always work when I get into the car. Sometimes it starts right away, other times it can...

    Sentry Mode recording not working if I also have MP3 USB drive connected

    I have a strange problem - if I leave my MP3 USB drive connected in the car, then sentry mode, while on, will not record any events. However, if I do not have the MP3 USB drive connected, the sentry mode will work. Each is connected on their own port, not a port splitter and I have checked the...

    Rivian Shows Off New Blue to Reservation Holders

    It is not even a 6.5 foot bed. I am concerned how well this will tow a 4-horse trailer. (Not 5th wheel)

    Feature Request: Automatically Roll Up Windows When It Start Raining

    I would love this and had suggested this years ago. My 2004 Mercedes E-class had this feature (along with a number of other things)

    Best 19 tires replacement

    I am really enjoying the ride with the Yokohama Avid Ascend GT - the wet traction is far better than the Goodyear OEM tires. I used to race Yokohama tires on my cars (when I was younger) and really love their racing and advanced road tires. I was surprised that they have a sporty GT.

    A way to pay for taking Tesla private

    Note that earlier in the day, before the stop in trading and Elon tweet about taking Tesla private, the Saudi Arabia sovereign wealth fund announced a 5% stake in Tesla. Likely a friendly, will not sell type of stake. That seems like an amount that could easily secure such a squeeze play.

    A way to pay for taking Tesla private

    TDLR; A short squeeze could easily pay for the whole takeover! I am going to lay out an interesting theory by first giving some facts as to Tesla and then telling the story of the Porsche takeover of VW. A bit of detail: There is about 25% of available Tesla stock that is on loan to shorts...

    Software Update 2018.18.2 301aeee

    Forgot to say the problem - the second hand now only draws every 2 to 5 seconds rather than clearly every second like in the older versions (2018.12 and before)

    Software Update 2018.18.2 301aeee

    Well, today I went from 2018.12 to 2018.18.2 and, while some things are more responsive, the browser is noticeably slower, at least for my web page that has a clock on it. My personal one is just like this with some options to show various traffic cameras along my commute. Clock - For Tesla...

    Auto Pilot - from 60 years ago!

    This article from 1958 shows a few things, the last of which is really a cultural issue that we have not completely overcome: Auto-pilot for cars is not new, it just does more. This one was the first invention of what we now call "cruise control" - but there was controversy about how this...
